with Scott McClellans book coming out... we know ahead of time it's very damming.<br><br>SO WHY has every single one who's left or gotten pushed out of Bush's administration is damming of the Administration's activities..<br><br>are all 2 - 3 dozen just disgruntled employees? <br><br>and these were 't low level jobs- many had been with Bush before his first term and were in the inner cirles and some even close friends.<br><br>Can't believe anyone would buy that BS coming from Rove, Bush, and the WH "master bull shtters" about Scott just being disgruntled.<br><br>2nd question- when does Rumsfled's book come out !! <br><br>David (OFI)

Maybe they've figured that there's a fast buck in writing an "insider expose" book. All they need to do is rehash any old conspiresy theory and they'll make millions, whether it's true or not!!<br><br>I used to think it was terrible that life was unfair. Then I thought what if life were fair and all of the terrible things that happen came because we really deserved them? Now I take comfort in the general unfairness and hostility of the universe.

Not Ari Fleischer. Tony Snow hasn't. Dan Bartlett. Andy Card. John Ashcroft. Karl Rove. Nope. Rumsfeld. Powell? Have they said "damning" things about the Administrations activities? I know Powell has said some critical things, but overall .. ?<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Can't believe anyone would buy that BS coming from Rove, Bush, and the WH "master bull shtters" about Scott just being disgruntled.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Maybe a <strike>lot</strike> TON of cash from far left publisher and a sweetheart promotion tour on NBC and MSDNC helped Scott's "burning bridges" decision. <br><br><br>***************<br><br>

What I'm asking is why is every book that DOES come out negative... why hasn't Ari Fleischer, Tony Snow, Dan Bartlett. Andy Card, John Ashcroft, Rumsfeld & Powell come out with positive books ?<br><br>yeah the $ thing taints the picture- no doubt. ... but plenty of washington insiders have written good things and been paid too.<br><br>David (OFI)

Because a negstive book will get huge media attention, and make more money than a positive book. Which book would you buy?<br><br>- The sun shines out of George Bush' @$$<br>- George Bush is evil and eats babies<br><br>I used to think it was terrible that life was unfair.

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>What's interesting is that the response has been to attack the messenger but they haven't disputed many facts that have come out. Mmmmm<p><hr></blockquote><p>I hardly see it as "attacking the messenger." These are people on the inside standing up and saying "whoa wait a minute. I was there too and that's not what we saw" and "we all know Scott and something has happened because what is in his book isn't what he was telling us." <br><br>Of course the NBC/MSDNC machine is now SAYING that current and former adimistration members are "attacking Scott" (rather than just trying to correct what Scott is saying – from their same insider point of view). Ironically, the very same people who hated and mocked Scott McClellan just a few years ago are now embracing him (because he's now "on message") with open arms. <br><br>Mmmmmm. <br><br>***************<br><br>
